FZ6R great bike--- onward to gsxr 750

[pkoko]

I am sorry but the urge of extra power was to hard to resist. I upgraded to gsxr-750 and I miss comfortable riding position on the FX6R. But the GSXR suspension is more tight. I haven't gotten the GSXR past 9K rpms but it hauls much faster than the Yamaha. BTW, the FZ6R rear seats are really nice... GSXR- seat is crap in comparison. SO two passengers the Yamaha wins every time.

comfort--- FZ6R
FUN- GSXR

fuel millage is about the same BTW

At least around here, SS insurance and theft are high. I've got back and neck issues so the logical upgrade for me is street triple or FZ8.

HOWEVER, if I ever went the SS route, the GSX-R 750 is #1 on my list! I think if I ever rode one, I'd have to have it!

Congrats! I'll be making the same jump next weekend. Post some pics!

What kind of gas mileage were you seeing on the FZ6R? I find it hard to believe but intriguing about the 750 getting similar mileage. Also what year GSX-R? Mods?

Congrats!

750 runs about 40mpg unless you are really on it, then maybe 35mpg.

I will soon... I was getting 45-50 mpg on the Yamaha... on GSX-R 750 I am getting 43-47 mpg. And Yes, I don't floor it every time. This is under normal driving. My favorite thing on the Suzuki is the gear indicator. I wish Yamaha had that.

Sweet. I'm looking forward to having that too. Also looking forward to a lot more power and handling capabilities. Probably going to take advanced rider classes and track it sometimes.

Congrats. I wish we had a gear indicator too. How long can you go on the GSXR before you start to get uncomfortable?

Congrats on the upgrade! I havent really been caring about lack of gear indicator on my FZ6R lately. I just got used to keeping track in my mind and knowing which gear is what speed at what rpms. Been looking for 7th gear a lot less lately hehe.

Enjoy the new toy!

A lot of the mods for the bike cause the gear indicator not to work right, if mine didn't work right, I'd probably be fine with it.

Congrats on the new ride. Enjoy and be safe.
